Water, Capitalism and Africans Ubuntu is a Zulu word meaning “humanness.” In Pan Africanism we call this quality “humanism” but it is even more down-to-earth among the Bantu. You can find examples of what is called ubuntu thru out Africa, not just among the Zulu. Almost all Africans have some version of it. It is [...]

Does ESSENCE know how to promote Natural Hair?

Each month, I always buy ESSENCE. Even though I am not American, it still speaks to me as a young black woman although it needs a *lot* of tweaking. In the March 2009 issue of ESSENCE with the beautiful Halle Berry on the cover, there was a section of the mag that troubled me. The [...]

As a Star Trek fan, I enjoyed the character of Guinan, the mysterious but wise hostess of the Ten Forward lounge on the starship Enterprise D captained by Jean Luc Picard. Guinan was always good for a word of advice, sometimes treading on counselor Deanna Troi’s job function. But nevertheless, the character of Guinan, played [...]

“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists.
